FOR YOUR SAFETY

you or others. Please read these messages carefully.
Of course, it is not practical or possible to warn you about all the
hazards associated with operating or maintaining a snow blower. You
must use your own good judgment.

Important Message to Parents
The safety of your children is very important to Honda. Snow blowers
are tools, not toys. As with any equipment, bad judgments can result
in serious injuries. Your child must be big enough, strong enough, and
have the coordination necessary to comfortably reach and operate the
controls. Anyone who takes unnecessary risks and doesn’t obey rules
should not operate this snow blower.
Important Message to Employers
As an employer, you have special responsibilities to the people who
work for you.
Before you ask anyone to operate this snow blower, you need to
determine whether the person is old enough, large enough, and
strong enough to safely handle and control the snow blower.
If you decide he/she is, make sure the employee reads and
understands all instructions and warnings in this manual and on the
labels before operating the snow blower.
Allow adequate time for hands-on training by a qualified instructor,
and personally supervise practice sessions until you feel sure the
employee is ready to operate the machine.
Also be sure employees wear proper clothing and have eye protection
and any other gear that may be required by local ordinances or your
insurance company.
Remember, too, that you are responsible for keeping the snow blower
properly maintained and in safe operating condition.
Your commitment to safety on the job can help prevent injuries and
result in longer and more productive years of service.
